Oh no!!! I hate you stalled, but I hate even more you broke your shoulder! I hope you can get better and soon!!

I had all you lovelies on my mind today and thought I would reach out to see how everyone is doing! I am 37 pounds to my goal weight and from a size 24 pants to a size 12. I am feeling great and hope you all are too!!!

How awesome!!! Can't wait to join you in one-derland!!

I had a stall for about 2 weeks and then got a stomach bug - bluhh. But then ive lost 11 lbs since the bug left. My goal was to lose 107 lbs. I am now at 71 to go. Whoo! Lol

Haha i did the same thing. Im wearing clothes i havent worn in a long time. I wore a dress yesterday, and i cant say ive ever worn a dress to work.

Fantastic! i am feeling great and doing great. Im down 38lbs so far including preop diet and people are starting to notice. It makes me feel good to get compliments

For sure take those softeners!! It won't do you any favors to be constipated. I had a little set back over the weekend with a stomach bug or something. I had to get some IV fluids to catch up, but otherwise all is well.

Good for you!! That is so exciting!

Doing good! I am down 31 lbs and trying to keep hydrated.

How is everyone?

I actually made my fluid goal today! And had 2 protein shakes, and 2 small meals. (I mean real small). I am feeling pretty accomplished today. Last night i guess i ate too fast and i had terrible chest pain! I walked and burped and wiggled until i wanted to cry! Thank god it didnt last too long. Today I have been canning green beans from our garden, 52 quarts! Hope everyone is doing well!!

You got this!!

Yes to the weird sensation. And yes. ALL. DAY. LONG. All i can say is Crystal Light flavors cuz water gets old lol.

I know! I love this group. I feel like we are all linked by surgery somehow. I plan to keep up with all of you best i can.

My head hunger hasnt been too bad either. I really dont feel hunger. I just feel full all of the time, and im so afraid of overdoing it so i underdo it most of the time. I, too, love popcorn! It would be hard to smell that deliciousness and not partake. Lol

I honeslty have had very little nausea. And i have been able to do 2 premier proteins a day since sunday. I am eating soft foods and that is going well too. I am also down 25 lbs and a coworker noticed my weight loss for the first time today. It made me feel good because I didnt tell anyone about my surgery except my mom and best friend (and hubs of course). I havent been able to see a difference and i was pleasantly surprised when they noticed. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have had such a great experience. I wish everyones experience could be like mine![emoji2] [emoji2]

Yes! Mine was the 18th and your secret is safe with me! How is your nausea, etc?

Haha that is to be expected. Wait a week, and you be lower than your surgery weight. Be patient! And i still struggle with the liquids. They want me to get 64 but i get 50 to 55. Sometimes less. But i feel okay. The tiredness is part of it until we adjust. Im perpetually tired lol. Just sip and nap and repeat.

Haha. I am happy to share any and all of my new knowledge and experience!! Just ask. [emoji4]

The only pain i have is at my main entry point and only intermittently. I am tired at times, and i havent really had to take anything for pain since last sunday. The liquids are a challenge. Try to sip, sip, sip. It will get better and easier with time. I still dont feel hunger, so dont be surprised by that. I am glad that you stayed an extra night and walking really is key to get the soreness out and the gas moving. Youve got this! Its hard, but keep your chin up! Glad to hear that overall you are doing okay. [emoji4]

Thinking about you. How did it go? How are you??

I feel ya. I had RNY on the 18th and I came back to work today. Made it a half a day, but I have been all I can be. Im exhausted!!

I have never laughed so hard than I have at these. The only problem is that i am 6 days post op, and laughing still hurts! P.s. i love poo-pouri!

So I had my first stage 2 foods today, which went well. And I had my first venture outside the house. I just feel so wiped out now, like Ive run a marathon. After a nap and (not enough liquids today) I am officially too tired to go anymore. Off to bed I go. Anyone else having energy slumps?

Trixie keep your chin up. Also, my doctor told me to drink propel. I dont know if that is his preference or what, but so far so good with cramps. (Except some gas cramps) Did they give you a multivitamin bag and iron before you left the hospital?
